On this track Nas is exploring the way in which women effect men in a negative way, leading to violence and death. In the second verse he tells the most likely fictitious tale of his friend James getting killed by the cops, who went crazy because he found out his wife was cheating. Very cautionary song if you ask me.

The beat was produced by Chucky Thompson for The Hitmen and it sampled “My Hero Is a Gun” by Diana Ross.
